Based on the documents of the Russian State Archive of Economics, they analyze the main areas of work of the Office of the Chief Inspector of the Main Administration for Producers’ and Consumers’ cooperatives in the Bashkir ASSR. Particular attention is paid to the measures for improving trade and production activities in cooperative organizations in the period of the post-war economic recovery. The author assesses the effectiveness of cooperative organizations in meeting the demands of the population and overcoming the deficit of manufactured goods and foodstuffs. The reports on audits and revisions by the Main Administration for Producers’ and Consumers’ cooperatives show that fulfilling the plans for goods turnover by consumer cooperative organizations was uneven both in planned periods and in different districts of the republic. Orders of rural consumer societies, based on the demands of the shareholders, were disregarded by state-owned industry. A significant part of the output of producers’ cooperative organizations did not meet the demand of the population, was of low quality, and had high production costs. The authors come to the conclusion that despite the inability to solve all the problems in the systems of producers’ and consumers’ cooperatives, the Office of the Chief Inspector of the Main Administration for Producers’ and Consumers’ cooperatives in the Bashkir ASSR achieved a certain amount of success. Besides differentiating the industrial programs and a significant growth in goods turnover, the number of unprofitable cooperative organizations decreased and disruptions in trade occurred more rarely.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Исследуется деятельность Главного управления по делам промысловой и потребительской кооперации по выявлению и устранению недостатков в кооперативных организациях Башкирской АССР в период с 1946 по 1950 гг. На основе документов Российского государственного архива экономики проанализированы основные направления работы аппарата старшего инспектора Главукоопа по Башкирской АССР. Основное внимание уделено мероприятиям по совершенствованию торговой и производственной деятельности кооперативных организаций в условиях послевоенного восстановления народного хозяйства. Дана оценка эффективности деятельности кооперативных организаций в деле удовлетворения спроса населения, преодоления дефицита промтоваров и продовольствия. Материалы проверок и ревизий Главукоопа позволяют заключить, что выполнение планов товарооборота предприятиями потребкооперации отличалось неравномерностью как по планируемым периодам, так и по районам республики. Заявки сельских потребительских обществ, сформированные на основе запросов пайщиков, не принимались в расчет государственной промышленностью. Значительная доля продукции артелей промысловой кооперации не соответствовала спросу населения, характеризовалась низким качеством и высокой себестоимостью. Автор приходит к выводу о том, что, несмотря на неспособность решить весь комплекс проблем в системах потребительской и промысловой кооперации, аппарат старшего инспектора Главукоопа по Башкирской АССР добился несомненных достижений. Помимо дифференциации производственных программ и значительного роста объемов товарооборота сократилось число убыточных кооперативных предприятий, стали реже фиксироваться перебои в торговле.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>General Department for producers’ and consumer cooperation (Glavukop)</kwd><kwd>producers’ cooperation</kwd><kwd>consumer cooperation</kwd><kwd>trade</kwd><kwd>goods deficit</kwd><kwd>planned economy</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Главное управление по делам промысловой и потребительской кооперации (Главукооп)</kwd><kwd>промысловая кооперация</kwd><kwd>потребительская кооперация</kwd><kwd>торговля</kwd><kwd>товарный дефицит</kwd><kwd>плановая экономика</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta><fn-group/></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Aksarin, V.V. “Personalities of Yamal commercial cooperation.” Manuscript 12, no. 10 (2019): 26–31 (in Russian), https://doi.org/10.30853/manuscript.2019.10.3</mixed-citation></ref><ref id="B2"><label>2.</label><mixed-citation>Antoshkin, A.V. “Struggle Against Private Entrepreneurship in Enterprises of Craft and Consumer Cooperatives of Bashkortostan (1946–1950).” Nauchnyi dialog 14, no. 4 (2025): 368–385 (in Russian), https://doi.org/10.24224/2227-1295-2025-14-4-368-385</mixed-citation></ref><ref id="B3"><label>3.</label><mixed-citation>Bakanov, S.A., and Pass, A.A. “Gaps in government regulation of the cooperative industry sector in the USSR in the 1950s (case study of Chelyabinsk region).” Bulletin of the South Ural State University.
